A Shoreline Perspective Lyrics

I think this song is about some guy and he was with this girl he liked but he felt the need to move on : "the tides call my name but the land spares the depths of the sea" (moving from the "depths of the sea" ((as in the complicated relationship)) to the shore where he feels safer)

I think that when they were together, she probably treated him like crap (i.e. ignoring him, not being very affectionate, and/or seeming not to need him at all) but when he finally decides to move on she realizes she does need him "you swore you could swim but what now when your feet wont touch the ground"

He feels content with himself for moving on and is glad he doesnt have to deal with her anymore. "as you scream ill laugh you scream "ironic" and beg for this fever to break" Its ironic that now that they are not together anymoer she all of the sudden loves him .

He finds her reaction to the break up immature and unreasonable thus the "its a childish thing you do splashing in the water...splashing" (splashing as in making a scene..)

well thats my take on it...
